His scent

Alyssa’s Point of view

“You wanted to see me?”

I asked Jason to distract him from walking into the garden. His eyes trailed on my body and I swallowed hard. I knew he would pick it because I was with a man.

“Who were you with?” he asked me as I sighed heavily, looking at him. He was surely expecting me to answer that.

“No one. I bumped into someone out there.” I lied to him, but I didn’t do enough to convince him.

“A man?” He asked,

“No. What does it matter?

I am not telling you anything.” I snapped. He was about to marry me off to a stranger that would just take advantage of me and he didn’t tell me anything.

I stormed out of there, heading up the stairs that lead to the second floor. I wasn’t ready to hear what he has to say to me.

I had no interest in what he was planning to say to me. “Alyssa. You will not walk away from me when I am talking to you,” he said as I stopped in my tracks, turning to him.

“Fine. Did you bring me here to marry me off? Are you tired of me? Are you tired of seeing me?” I asked him, tears filling my eyes as he swallowed hard looking at me.

‘Just answer my question please,” I said to him as he lowered his head without responding. I don’t believe this. He knew about this before coming here.

“You know what brother, just leave me alone,” I said, walking away as I headed to my room. I opened the door and slammed it, but it didn’t shut closed. It hit someone who was following me behind.

‘Frey!” I panicked, rushing to her. I had hit her with the door, and she faked a smile walking towards me. “I am so sorry,” I said to her, checking if she was okay

“Are you okay?” She asked with a smile.

“Frey. I am sorry,” I said, holding her hand, and she shook her head. “No, I shouldn’t have followed you. I was just worried that…” she said as I pursed my lips together, walking away from her.

“He knew. Jason knew that they want to marry me off to him and… And…” I stuttered and she followed me behind, coming in front of me as she held my hands.

“He is someone we need. We need that route. It would save us so many months of travel and think about it,” she said to me as I shook my head, tears falling from my eyes/.

‘He promised to find me, my mate. He promised we would find him,” I said, tears filling my eyes as she pulled me into a hug. I heard her sniffle, and I quickly pulled away from her.

“Where were you?” She asked me.

“Nowhere. I was just in the garden.” I lied, trying to take off my dress. “Keeping things from each other now, are we?” She asked me to come to help me with my dress behind.

“No. I just don’t know what I am doing.” I admitted, as she unzipped my dress.

“What do you mean?”

She asked me, coming in front of me while I pulled the dress off me. “Well, I met this man, I don’t know. When I am near him, my mind just freezes. I can’t think. I can’t move when his close and Ligia doesn’t protest when he touches us,” I explained to her and she raised her eyebrows looking at me.

“What’s wrong? It’s crazy right?” I asked her as she shook her head. “I am just shocked that you would find someone in the gardens and let him touch you. And you have been here for how long? Six hours?”

She asked me as I sighed heavily.

I was crazy. I was losing my mind.

“What’s his name?

Maybe we can look into him?” She asked me as I bit my lower lip, pausing in my steps.

“No. Please don’t look at me like that,” I said to her as lips parted, wanting to say something to me

“You let a man touch you without knowing his name? Did he kiss you? Was he forcing you?” She asked me as I sighed heavily, removing her hands from me.

“No. He didn’t kiss me. He only went as far as…” I wanted to say to her, but stopped midway, looking at her. She looked so worried and I am sure if I told her he tried to play with my cunt, she would flip.

“As far as what?” She asked me as I swallowed hard, shaking my head.

“It’s nothing. I am exhausted and would like to rest.” I said to her, and she nodded her head, picking the dress from the ground and walking away.

“Just be careful,” she said, walking away from my room as I sighed heavily, walking to the shower to remove my makeup before heading to bed. I got in my nightdress, laying my head down.

‘Ligia, am I crazy for being attracted to that man?’ I asked my wolf, knowing too well I have no one else to talk to.

‘No. you are not. We like him,’ she said to me and I snickered, closing my eyes. Tomorrow I had a long day, and I just wanted to sneak out of the palace briefly in the morning to look at some things in the market.

The next morning, I woke up feeling exhausted. I got dressed quickly after taking a shower. Because Freya wasn’t here, I opted for something more casual.

I wore an oversized shirt and black leather leggings with black converse and tied my hair behind. I grabbed my phone and made my way downstairs.

‘Where are you?’ I linked Jason so that I could talk to him.

‘I am about to head to their training grounds. How are you feeling?’ He asked me as sighed heavily. ‘I want to talk to you. Can you meet me in front of the dining hall?’ I asked him.

‘Sure. Be there soon’ He replied, cutting the link as I made my way to the dining hall. I was never one to have meals in the morning. I always prefer water over food.

“Hey? You wanted to see me?” He asked as he approached where I was standing.

“Yes. I am thinking of visiting the factory and later than just looking around. If it’s fine with you,” I asked him and he nodded his head, smiling at me.

“That’s fine. I know how much you want to look at those products. Just make sure you take Freya and Diego with you,” He added to me as I folded my arm.

‘Diego? Keeping tabs on me?” I asked him and he sighed heavily.

“Fine. Let him meet me outside. I have already linked Frey to meet me,” I turned around and walked away.

“Do you have enough cash?”

He shouted after me. “I have my card,” I replied, walking towards the exit.

“So, where are we going?”

Freya asked me after meeting me outside the entrance and handing me my small bag.

“Well, there’s the factory that I want to visit and also, we can move around to get some things for the girls,” I suggested to her as we waited by the car for Diego.

“Why are we here?”

She asked me as I raised my eyebrows. “Well, Diego. Jason wants us to go with him,” I said to her and she chuckled.

“His not coming. I found him banging some omega. I go the car keys” She showered me the car key as I smiled at myself getting in the car.

Driving through the streets of the pack had me wondering when people would experience such freedom back home. They are constantly in fear of the vampires wanting to attack or the Lycans who are so greedy.

“Should we start from here??” she asked me as I nodded my head with a smile as she finally pulled over in front of a shopping mall. I smiled at her.

We got out of the car and I inhaled sharply. This place was beautiful. We walked around the mall; I kept on thinking someone was following us, but I couldn’t make out who it was.

“Should we get some milkshakes?” Freya suggested to me as I excitedly nodded my head. Taking a step into the shop, a familiar scent caught my attention.

Lavender.
